Praia Dona Ana, Algarve, Portugal

4.5 (3.882 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Algarve Beaches

Spectacular beach - brilliant for tanning and swimming

The other day we visited the picturesque Marinha beach - which is incredibly pretty, but with quite a few sharp stones in the water. Praia Dona Ana - 15 minutes walk fra Lagos city - is just as spectacular as the famous Marinha, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and turquoise water and covered with soft sand. The good thing about Dona Ana is that there are no sharp objects in the water, just lovely sand. You (and your kids?) are gonna love this beach. There are easy steps down from road level to the beach. Not dangerous at all.

Used to be more beautiful
A really nice beach which can be reached on foot from Lagos city center, it took me around 30 minutes. It was not that far. This beach has been chosen as one of the most beautiful beaches of the world but my friend who is a local told me that 2 years ago they made the beach wider by putting more sand where the sea was (probably to accomodate more people) and therefore a lot of its natural beauty was taken away. For this, I found the Camilo beach more beautiful. Also be careful, the beach was so full of shells it hurt to walk on the sand. Better bring flipflops! There are many rock formations which you can explore on the sand to the right side when you are facing the sea. Kinda discovering new small beaches.

Nice beach close to the busstop!
Its a nice beach, with scenic cliffs around. Unfortunately it is not very big and very popular so it was a bit crowdy. Nice kiosk at the bus stop, but the cafe/restaurant on the beach was expensive and not the best experience (staff friendly though).
